This song was a pretty unique technology experience for me. It was recorded across 3 cities by my producer, Dave Brophy (Boston), who played drums, Jason Rafalak (Pittsburgh), who played bass, and myself on keys here in Philly. I was a bit nervous about recording keys and vocals without any professional equipment, but I made do and learned a new skill.

 

The sound bites are from a handful of friends who graciously sent in bits of their thought process and samples of what their conversations have been like: Laurie Smith (Florida), Johnny Jones (Chicago), Tasha Ryals (Columbus), and Marcie Mamura (Martha's Vineyard).

 

I was most excited to make the music "home' video! Getting more acquainted with my Canon has been a goal this year, so I took a few days to plan, set up for, and film everything and then a few more days to edit while learning a new editing software.

 

At the end o the day, it's just a fun pop song, but it was cool to make something a little less polished while stretching myself in learning new skills, and finding ways to involve people across the country! I hope you enjoy it and can relate to its different elements :)
